Four independent relay outputs are provided for triggering external devices like water
samplers and monitoring devices. These relays can be separately programmed to
trigger based on volume per pulse, and threshold settings can be used to limit
triggering to flows above preset levels. There is also an accurate and scalable 4-20mA
output provided for monitoring flow using data loggers and PLC devices. An internal
USB data logger is available as a factory option that allows the historical flow data to
be recorded, as well as the exact time of each relay trigger event. Free software is
provided for programming the data logger, downloading flow and relay data, and
exporting to spreadsheets. Programmable power saving features allow the supply
current to be reduced, which is important in remote monitoring applications.
A 16 character by 2 line LCD display can show either the current flow rate, the water
level, or the volume in the totalizer. The 8-button keypad allows the selection of the
display modes, and the programming of the setup parameters. The DISPLAY button
toggles the LCD display between the flow rate, the water level, and the totalizer. This
button also allows the quick exit from the setup menus when in any setup mode.
Holding the MENU button down for two seconds enters the setup menu. In setup
mode, the MENU button moves from one menu selection to another. The BACK
button moves the user backward through the various setup options. The SAVE button
will save a setup parameter to memory. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT arrow
buttons are used to select and change setup parameters.
Note:
The FC220 flow monitor requires a level sensor to operate. Two and three wire level
sensors with 4-20mA, 0-5 volt and 0-1 volt outputs are supported. A sensor is not
supplied with the FC220, contact Global Water for more information on available
sensors.
